It said the Indian movies were opposed to Pakistan’s Kashmir policy and were a “big hurdle” in freedom movement of Kashmiris.“To express solidarity with Kashmiris the Pakistan government should be ordered to put immediate ban on exhibition of Indian movies across the country,” it pleaded.Besides, the petitioner alleged that the Indian government and other extremist organisations were threatening Pakistani actors to leave India after the Uri attack; therefore, the Pakistani government should respond to India in a firm manner and ban its movies.The court will fix the date of hearing next week.
